How hard it is to build furniture without using power tools?
December 3rd, 2008 | by admin |Keri asked:
My brother wants to know. He’s interested in trying this out as a hobby and now I’m curious. What types of tools would you need? How difficult would it be? Is it much different than building with power tools?

It’s very difficult, but not impossible. He will need several saws (rip, cross cut, coping), a brace with bits, planes (block, jack, jointing, rabbeting), possibly a spoke shave, VERY sharp knives, chisels, etc. It’s a great hobby though. I wish him well.
